The day I made a deal with the devil...

...errrr I mean my husband!

Jeremy and I check our finances every month to make sure we stick to our budget and make sure we aren't "over spending." (well, we check more than once a month but we get together and try to talk about them a couple times a month. We never argue about money and I think doing this helps us not)

This particular week when going over our lists, Target and etsy/paypal were the HOT ones on my list! Target was popping up 2-3 times a week!! YIKES!! If you follow me on four square, instagram or twitter you might be like "Wow, this girl likes target!" CORRECTION this girl LOVES target!!! 

We live in a small town. Target is seriously all I've got, (oh, and panera!) and Target has EVERYTHING! Clothes, shoes, accessories, make up, home goods, groceries, etc. I think we can ALL say it is hard to get out of Target for $50+! 

Well, the hubby just doesn't understand. He doesn't get the "trap" that Target has us set up in. Which brings me to the "day I made a deal with the devil." I made a deal with Jeremy to not shop at Target for TWO WHOLE WEEKS AND Make dinner at home every night for at least one week. (starting yesterday)

I can NOT believe I made this deal with him! I am also kind of scared to see how much $$ we are going to save but in the end I am also EXCITED to see how much we save too!

Wish me luck, I am going to need it! 
(Typing this made this feel real, I might need to throw in the towel...)

***If Target would like to send me gift cards so my purchases can not be tracked, they are MORE than welcome! SHHH, just don't tell Jeremy***

P.S. Have you entered my giveaway?

LOL! I totally get what you mean! I have such an obsession with JoAnn's Fabric and Target, and my hubby says all the same things! I just say "I'm going to walk around there and NOT buy anything" to which he responds, "YEAH RIGHT!!"

I SO wish I had way of hiding my trips there! HEHE!

Good luck!!!

This post made me giggle. It's just impossible to go to target and walk out of there without purchasing something. By the way, miss olivia is just too adorable!

I agree my total is always over 50 I love everything about that store, my husband would marry me all over again if I made a deal like this with him, but its true I would save a good chunk of change :)

I love, love, love Target and am there sometimes, multiple times a week. You go girl! It is crazy how that place sucks you in.

Good luck girl!! You have more willpower than I do, I'd be sneaking cash so no one could track my Target trip ;)
